Re: Blokepiece Shank experiences

Howdy, Ben,
Yes, the Euro shank Blokepiece SOLO seemed to lock in better for me than any American shank MP with an adapter (including the American Blokepiece) that I had been using on my Nirschl 6/4 CC and my Alex (old-style 164?) BBb. The euro fits the giant receiver on the Alex pretty well (at least it's a better match than any other modern MP I've tried).
Mostly pitch seemed to be slightly, but noticeably (from our end of the horn) easier.
hope that helps,
T. J.
